Inside Duncanville football. Colin Simmons went to Texas. Keelon Russell went to Alabama. Dakorien Moore went to Oregon. All three came off the same two Duncanville teams, the back-to-back Texas 6A state champions of 2022 and 2023.

None of it was given. Duncanville has played for a state title seven times and lost four, most recently by three points in 2025. Coach Reginald Samples has 364 career wins and counting, sixth-most in Texas history. At 70 he considered retiring. He came back instead.

Fifteen minutes down the road is DeSoto. In 2022 and 2023 the two schools split every 6A trophy in Texas between them.

Newcomers to the MaxPreps Top 25 | Week 2 2026 High School Football Season

Seventeen state championships. Seven in a row, a Florida record. Thirty-two NFL Draft picks since 2001. Head coach Roger Harriott calls it the greatest high school football program in the world.

This is inside St. Thomas Aquinas — not the trophies, but what the program is built on: character, accountability, and an expectation every new group of Raiders inherits.

DeSoto has won four state championships, three of them in the last four years, and sent 13 players to the NFL Draft since 2001. Head coach Claude Mathis doesn't call it a team. He calls it a program.

This is DeSoto football: the city, the community, and the standard a group of teenagers in South Dallas carries every fall. The pipeline runs from Jalen Mills to Byron Murphy II, and it keeps producing.
